The FO, in a statement on X, said that the UK High Commissioner Jane Marriott, in a meeting with Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar today, expressed “full solidarity with Pakistan in responding to the devastating impacts of the floods and ongoing monsoon season.”
Pledging $4m (£3m) to Pakistan for flood emergency response, Marriott said that more humanitarian support will follow.
Rising inflation, costly housing, and an increase in jobless claims have raised fresh alarms in the United States, exposing the harsh reality behind the dream destination of thousands of Pakistani youth.

Pakistan’s future water security, energy needs, and flood control depend on building and maintaining large dams alongside natural solutions.
As Pakistan faces intensifying water scarcity, erratic monsoons, and worsening energy shortages, the debate over building large dams has once again taken center stage. فورکاسٹ بولیٹنز:12 ستمبر 2025

While critics argue that dams are outdated and harmful, a growing body of research and technical assessments shows that Pakistan cannot survive without strategic water storage infrastructure, according to the WAPDA Annual report 2024.
As per the Pakistan River Civil Society Network, anti-dam voices argue that the public has been misled by pro-dam rhetoric driven by engineering firms and international lenders, often lacking rigorous local research.
According to International Rivers Report on Dam Failures and River Constriction (2021), while dams reduce smaller floods, they often make large floods worse by narrowing natural river channels and creating a false sense of security.
According to IWMI study Reclaiming Natural Storage in Pakistan (2023), wetlands, aquifers, and floodplains in Pakistan can collectively store up to 500 MAF of water, more than all proposed dams combined.
As per the PCRWR Groundwater Depletion Survey (2022) and the UNDP Water Report, Punjab and Sindh’s aquifers are rapidly depleting due to over-extraction.
In areas like central Punjab, water tables have dropped over 3 meters in the past decade, and salinity is spreading. Ironically, dams actually help recharge aquifers by releasing steady flows into riverbeds, improving downstream percolation.
